    Learn how to knit a scarf for beginners in this step-by-step video tutorial! This course is designed for complete newbies and beginners, so if you've never held yarn or needles before, then this is course for you!
    We'll go over each step of the knitting process (don't worry, there are only 3 steps!) so that you can knit a comfy scarf with any yarn and needles.
    _________________________________________________________________
    /// WHAT YOU'LL LEARN ///
    1. Cast On - involves getting the yarn onto your needles
    2. Knit Stitch - the bread and butter of knitting. Get this stitch down and you can officially call yourself a knitter!
    3. Cast Off - how do you get your scarf off your needles when it's long enough? With the cast off!
    BONUS TIPS:
    * How to choose yarn and needles
    * How to get a neat edge using a slipped selvedge
    * How to hold your needles (once you're comfortable knitting)
    * How to weave in your tail ends so that your scarf is neat and secure
    _________________________________________________________________
    /// MATERIALS ///

    /// HOW I KNIT MY SCARF ///
    The scarf in the video is knit with around 350 grams of bulky weight yarn.
    I casted on 22 stitches and used a US 15/10mm bamboo needle to knit the scarf. The scarf ended up being 9.25" wide and 65" long.

    This is a wonderful video and got me knitting in no time! A few tips based on my personal experience....
    1) Use needles at least this big or bigger. I started out with smaller ones and it was way more difficult
    2) Use white or light-colored yarn. I was using black at first and it was impossible to see what was going on
    3) Loosen up! I was knitting so so tight at first, I could barely push the needle through. I think this channel has another video about tight knitting, but the main thing that helped me was making sure I wasn't knitting on the tips of the needles. Drag every stitch down the needle a bit so it's sitting on the widest point.

You repeat the instructions, move your hands slowly, it’s amazing to learn. Some people will teach already moving so fast I can never catch up. I’m also left handed so everything is mirrored and it takes me longer. So thank you very much for helping me accomplish my scarf!!!!

    • @sheepandstitch
      @sheepandstitch  Před 8 lety +3

      Hey Mercy! I would start with this video. It goes through the basics of knitting: the cast on, the cast off and the knit stitch. With these three skills, you can make your first scarf! This is the project that most new knitters will start with. As for materials, you'll need yarn, needles and your own two hands! Head to your local craft store and choose a yarn that you like. I recommend a chunky weight yarn because it's easier to work with. Then, look at the yarn's label. It will give you a recommended needle size. Choose a pair of needles within this range. I go into more detail about this here: sheepandstitch.com/how-to-knit-a-scarf-for-beginners/ and also in the video at the 00:32 mark. Hope this helps! Excited for your knitting journey!

    • @charlotte822

      Cate Cornia Hey there! I’m (unfortunately) not Sheep & Stitch, but remember to tug on the yarn that’s connected to your ball of yarn every time you make another stitch, and when making your first row, remember to be consistent with the amount of space in between your knots. Another tip is to make sure that your knitting is all lined up and not in a twist. ♥️

This video was such a helpful refresher and I’m sure it’s been super useful over the years in getting lots of newbies on their knitting journey. The only thing I wasn’t prepared for when I started was the addiction and the constant need for more and more and more yarn! 🙃

    Here’s a great tip for all new knitters. I ended up using multi coloured yarn. With size 10 bamboo. The multi colours i found really helped in seeing any potential mistakes and if I accidentally dropped a stitch I easily picked it up again. Because each row was a different shade or colour. If I used a one colour yarn I wouldn’t of been able to see it. The wood also stops slipping.
